Now, the chapter on samadhi1. Now, the instruction of yoga.
2. Yoga is the
nirodha -process of ending of the
vrtti -definitions of
citta -the field of consiousness.
3. Then the abidance of (I) the seer (
drastr) in (my) own nature (
svarupe).
4. Otherwise, there is conformity (identification) to
vrtti -definitions.
5.
Vrttis -definitions (of the field) are five-fold. They are either
klista -obstructing/causing pain or
aklista -non obstructing.
6. They are: evaluation (valid meanings of learning), misperception, conceptualization, sleep and memory.
7.
Pramana -valid means of evaluation are: direct perception, inference and testimony (scripture).
8.
Viparyaya -misperception is mistaken knowledge, founded on an appearance which is not that.
9.
Vikalpa -conceptualization is without an (actual) object, relying upon concept in language.
10.
Nidra -sleep is a
vrtti depending on a
pratyaya -the immediate arising thought towards non-wakefullness (absence).
11.
Smrti -(the act of) memory is the non-escaping of
visaya -experienced objects.
12. The
nirodha -process of ending of those (
vrtti) occurs by
abhyasa -practice and
vairagya -non-attachment.
13.
Abhyasa -practice is vigilance (effort) in remaining there (as I, the seer abiding in my own nature, seeing).
14. Moreover, that
abhyasa -practice has a firm ground when attended to for a long time without interuption, and with devotion to truth.
15.
Vairagya -non-attachment is the full knowledge (declaration) of (one's own/the seers) mastery (on the part of one who is) not clinging to
visaya -objects, (already) experienced or descibed (by others).
16. The higher (
vairagya -non-attachment) is the non-clinging to the
gunas (primary forces of creation) due to identity with
purusha -the self.
17. (
Nirodha -the process of ending
vrtti is)
samprajnata -cognitive, when connecting with forms which are sencepercieved or subtle, having a feeling of bliss or the (individual) sence of 'I am'.
18. The other (
nirodha -process of ending), preceded by the practise (
abhyasa) of the
pratyaya (immediate arising thought) of
virama -cessation, has a residuum of
sanskara -subliminal activators.
19. In the case of those who are out of body, or absorbed in
prakrti -unmanifest primary matter, it (the other
nirodha) (is preceded by) the
pratyaya -immediate arising thought (directed towards) becoming.
20. In the case of the others, it (the other
nirodha), is preceded by faith, energy, memory (
aklista -unobstructed),
samadhi -cognitive absorption and
prajna -primary insight.
21. In the case of those whose frequensy is intense, it (the other
nirodha) is near.
22. Because of degree of mild, moderate or extreme (frequency), thence there is also a difference (in nearness).
23. Or, because of
ishvara-pranidhana -the perfect aligning of attention in
ishvara -the ultimate seer (there is a difference in nearness of the other
nirodha).
24.
Ishvara is a distinction of
purusha -self, untouched by accumulations of the frutions of
karma -action (arising) from
klesa -root obstructions.
25. There (in
ishvara), the seed of omniscience is unsurpassed.
26. That (
ishvara), being unlimited by time, is also the teacher of the ancients.
27. The expression of that (
ishvara) is OM (
pranava - primary sound frequency of creation heard as an inner ringing sound current).
28. The repitition of that (OM/
pranava) (leads to) the realizing of its meaning.
29. From that (comes) the attainment of inward directed consciousness, and also the disappearane of the blocks.
30. Sickness, density, doubt, carelessness, lethargy, sexual preoccupation, erroneous perception, failure to obtain grounding (in
abhyasa -yoga practice), and instability are disruptions in
citta -the field of consciousness. These are the blocks.
31. They (the blocks) have the accompanying discuptions of pain, depression, restlessness of the body, inhalation and exhalation.
32. In order to prevent those blocks, the
abhyasa -practice of a single truth.
33. The clarification of
citta -the field comes about due to the realization of friendship with regard to the experiences of happiness, compassion with pain, elation with virtue, and neutrality with non-virtue (negativity).
34. (
Citta -the field is clarified) also by the holding in or out of breath.
35. Also, a
pravrtti -cognition which has arisen, related to a sensory object, holding the steadiness of the mind (, clarifies
citta).
36. Also, (a
pravrtti) which is sorrowless and luminous (clarifies
citta).
37. Also,
citta (whose)
visaya -object is that which transcends attachment (is clarified).
38. Also, (
citta is clarified) having as its supporting object the knowledge of dreams or sleep.
39. Also, by
dhyana -meditation as desired (the
citta is clarified).
40. The mastery of this (
dhyana and hence desirelessness for its objects) extends from the greatest magnitude to the greatest minuteness.
41. In the case (of a
citta) whose
vrtti -definitions have diminshed, which is like a perfect gemstone,
samapatti -cognitive blending is the focusing on that (object) and the saturation by that in reference to the experiencer, the experience, and what is experienced.
42. There (in such a case),
samapatti -cognitive blending which is
savitarka -with thought, is mixed with words, meaning, knowledge and conceptualization.
43. Upon the purification of memory,
samapatti -cognitive blending is
nirvitarka -beyond thought when, as if empty of its (
citta's) own form, it shines for as the object alone.
44. Specifically, by this (the previous two sutras)
savichara -with reflection and
nirvichara -beyond reflection,
samapatti -cognitive blending is explained with regard to subtle
visaya -objects.
45. And the subtlety of objects extends to
alinga -the unmanifest state of primary matter.
46. These particular (
samapatti) constitute sabija
samadhi -cognitive absorption with seed.
47. The clarity of the higher self occurs in the lucidity of the
nirvichara samapatti -samapatti beyond subtle reflection.
48. There,
prajna -insight is truth-bearing.
49. Due to the nature of its purpose being distinction (between
purusha -self and the
gunas -primary forces of creation), that
prajna -insight has another
visaya -object than both the insights from tradition and inference.
50. The
sanskara -subliminar activator, born of that (
prajna - insight) checks other
sanskara.
51. Upon the
nirodha -ending of even that (
sanskara born of insight), owing to the
nirodha of all (
sanskara),
nirbirja samadhi (
samadhi without seed).
